Natural colours are used o represent the colours of the earth, these are very neutral and highly benefitial for my intended image.

As you can see colour is very influential in influencing many factors of visual communication. For example associating colours with moods of feelings, this makes me consider altering the mood of my own image to represent death connotations of blood red will be helpful in this to create a darker mood of effect.

For my image i think that utilising a light sun background to a darker foreground with dead bones will verbally communicate my message better. This will also provide structure to my image, whilst drawing focus to specific areas mainly the lines of thirds being the target.

From the research i have found i would have to agree with the reasons to use colour, without ocular we simply wouldn’t be able to convey the messages we intend to it would de value the meaning of a object. Colour is a powerful tool used clearly in these ten stated examples. Colour is essential.
